complaint, the chairman was furious10,000 fines.
Those who know modern history should know that the establishment of New China was an arduous process. From the Long March to the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression to the War of Liberation, countless soldiers fought bravely and sacrificed bravely for the independence and liberation of the country, and their blood and shells created a new hope for us.
However, "it is easy to fight the country and it is difficult to sit on the country," and how to maintain and consolidate this hope in the new China that has been established is a challenge that we must face.
Victory in the war of liberation did not mean that the process of building a state became easier, but it was a warning that even if the revolution succeeded, it would sometimes become more difficult to defeat the "enemy of the heart" and keep the faith.
On the battlefield of 1952 to resist US aggression and aid Korea, an ordinary package caused a nationwide shock. Even *** was rarely angry in public, and issued a stern order: "This matter must be thoroughly investigated, and no one can be spared!" ”
Hundreds of thousands of people were involved in the event that shook the country. So, what kind of thing can cause such a big response and make *** so angry?
At the beginning of 1952, a package from the Korean battlefield shook the whole country, and it was sent to the desk of ***, ** was the chief of the general staff of the army, and was assigned to be in charge of the logistics of the Chinese volunteers to fight in Korea.
After understanding the contents of the package, ** said angrily: "I didn't expect that after the founding of New China, these harmful things still exist!" He immediately took the package to Zhongnanhai and walked quickly to ***'s office.
In the "Juxiang Book House", * used to working in his own residence, and *** also came quickly. But at the door, the guard stopped him and advised him to wait a while, because the chairman was listening to Minister Luo's report.
But *** thinks that his own affairs are very important, and since Minister Luo is also there, it would be better. Ignoring the guards' obstruction, he walked directly into the bookstore and saw *** who was reporting the "three anti movements" to ***
The campaign aims to eradicate anti-**, anti-waste, anti-bureaucratic behavior.
When *** suddenly broke into the conference room, ** was reporting to work and was very surprised. And the chairman immediately realized that ** must have brought an extremely important news.
Before the chairman could ask a question, ** said solemnly: "Chairman, something big has happened!" He took out a batch of counterfeit medicines found on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea from his bag, including unsterilized needles and gauze, as well as some first-aid medicines that had expired for a long time.
He presented the evidence and explained it in detail to the chairman and ***. When they heard ***'s description, the chairman and ***'s brows tightened, and when they saw the hard evidence, the anger was already written on the chairman's face.
After looking at these counterfeit medicines and expired medical supplies, ** indignantly said that these supplies caused many fighters to fail to get them in time ** and collapsed in rear hospitals.
The chairman took a deep breath and then angrily threw the package on the ground, denouncing the exploitation of the front-line fighters by these capitalists, which was intolerable. Li Yinqiao was frightened by the chairman's voice and had just come to the door. "
In **, he immediately rushed into the room to check, but was surprised to find that all three people in the room stood up, and some medical supplies were scattered on the ground. After readjusting his mood, the chairman took the report on the "Three Anti Movement" drafted by ***, pondered for a moment, and then said: "It seems that this time we need to take greater action. ”
Looking at this shocking evidence, ** had just made a gain in the "Three Antis Movement", he said to the two people present: "Yes, this operation must be big enough to remove as much as possible all the signs of capitalism." ”
Then, the chairman gave the order to convene a meeting on this "purge operation". As a result, the largest and most extensive "anti-corruption struggle movement" since the founding of the People's Republic of China began.
On January 4, the "Instructions on Immediately Mobilizing the Masses to Carry Out the 'Three Antis' Struggle within a Time Limit" were preliminarily examined and adopted. The next day, at the 34th Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), he delivered a speech entitled "The "Three Antis" Movement and the National Bourgeoisie, calling on the business circles across the country to actively participate in the "Three Antis" movement.
In this campaign, the former deputy secretary of the Shijiazhuang Municipal Party Committee and Zhang Zishan, the former secretary of the Tianjin Prefectural Party Committee, were investigated and punished. They were sentenced to death and executed, and the audience applauded enthusiastically to express their joy and excitement at the elimination of these two big ** criminals.
The whole country is happy to have eliminated these two big criminals.
At a time when the residual heat of the "three anti movement" has not disappeared, the chairman of the ** has ordered a thorough investigation of the "counterfeit medicine incident" on the battlefield of US aid to Korea, hoping to use this to catch the many "big fish" behind the scenes, and combine the two movements to launch a larger-scale "five anti movement".
This campaign further extended the "anti-corruption, anti-waste, and anti-bureaucracy" to capitalist businessmen, including anti-bribery, anti-tax evasion, anti-theft of state property, anti-cutting corners, anti-theft of national economic intelligence, etc.
On January 26, when this "purge campaign" reached its climax, ** officially issued a directive to carry out the "five anti campaigns", emphasizing the importance of this campaign and not allowing for mistakes.
Subsequently, major cities across the country actively responded to the call of the first and carried out large-scale and in-depth screening activities in the field of industry and commerce.
In the old days of Shanghai, as the economic center of the country, Shanghai played an important role. After an in-depth investigation by the Ministry of Public Security and the Central Military Commission's task force, it was found that most of the factories that manufactured counterfeit drugs were from Shanghai.
For this reason, the chairman personally called the then mayor of Shanghai, ordering him to cooperate with all these "giant crocodiles of the capitalist class".
After receiving the chairman's order, ** was emotional and determined to carry out the chairman's order.
* Angrily reprimanded: "In this special period, these immoral and inhumane vampires are still doing such hurtful things!" He immediately organized forces to cooperate with the Ministry of Public Security to track down the source of counterfeit drugs in Shanghai, and a "corruption storm" also quickly unfolded in Shanghai's industrial and political circles.
After the rapid action of the relevant departments, Wang Kangnian, the owner of Shanghai "Dakang Pharmacy", who was behind this batch of counterfeit drugs, was finally found out.
Wang Kangnian was a gifted businessman who grew up in a wealthy merchant family. During the Anti-Japanese period, other ordinary people suffered from the war, but he opened a grocery store in the bright city of Shanghai.
Later, when he found that the medicine business was more profitable, he converted his shop into a pharmacy, specializing in emergency medical supplies needed for the battlefield. Wang Kangnian, who had just started the pharmaceutical business, did not have a purchase channel, so he used the method of buying and selling drugs purchased from other cities at low prices to defraud banks and shareholders of loans.
This strategy made him a lot of money, and soon his shop became the largest on the street. However, it was not long before people found out about him and took him to court.
But fate brought him a turn for the better at this time, and the Kuomintang implemented the Golden Yuan Bond in Shanghai in order to rectify the economy, and many people went bankrupt as a result. This made Wang Kangnian see an opportunity, he exchanged the materials he had hoarded before for a batch of jewelry, and bought back his freedom with a very low **.
In addition, he also took the opportunity to take down other pharmacies and gain access to the purchase of original medicines.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wang Kangnian became a well-known "big pharmacist" in Shanghai with his shrewd business acumen, running several stores and opening three factories. After the outbreak of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, he actively responded to the call of ** and cooperated with ** to provide medicine for the volunteers.
However, although he made a fortune, his heart only had interests, and he did not have family and country feelings and respect for the volunteers. In order to pursue more wealth, he even mixed expired medicines and unsterilized medical supplies in the warehouse with regular medicines and provided them to the ** department.
The fighting on the front line is fierce, and there is no time to take care of material screening. Who would have thought that someone would take the opportunity to make money, and this batch of low-quality medicines caused secondary injuries to wounded soldiers on the Korean battlefield, and even took the lives of some soldiers.
After the investigation of the incident was clear, the Shanghai Public Security Bureau immediately arrested Wang Kangnian and froze all his assets, including the seizure of five pharmacies and three factories.
Wang Kangnian was spurned and arrested by 300,000 people for using the lives of volunteer soldiers as "bargaining chips" and only pursuing money and interests. The Shanghai judicial organs immediately convened a public trial meeting, and the audience at the scene hated him deeply and angrily abused him.
In the end, Wang Kangnian was sentenced to death and executed at the execution ground. When the gunshots rang out, the people were boiling, and cheers and shouts came one after another.
After Wang Kangnian, he expressed high praise for the case-handling personnel: "This case is handled properly, and it is necessary to punish such criminals." On this basis, the case-handling personnel found 75 ** who had been bribed by Wang Kangnian and handed them over to the court for processing.
In the six-month "Three Antis and Five Antis Campaign," 8.5 million to 9 million people across the country were investigated, and nearly 300,000 businessmen were eventually punished for illegal acts in business activities.
